Azeroth Roleplay
(I'm gonna ask @Footman16 to move this to another section if this isn't the right subforum for this post)
WC3Vault is a small side-project I've been working on. It's a website that's essentially some sort of Epicwar but for assets/models/icons.
One big issue that Hive has had in the past is with modellers/creators removing their assets due to various controversies/crashouts, and the community thus losing years of work and history that they could have made use of. This is very respectable, obviously, that Hive still supports the rights of creators to their works, in an era where artists and modellers are consistently disrespected by concepts like AI slop and AI training, but we, as members, also have a right to want to archive these works.
Likewise, there's many awesome model edits on here, or otherwise unavailable assets (e.g. XGM ones), that cannot be easily sorted through, tagged, categorized, etc.
My website is kind of an anti-thesis to that. Upload any asset you want, no strings attached, purely for downloading / archival purposes. Like how Epicwar is the realm of junky and bad/hacked/cheated wc3 maps, wc3vault is the realm of bad model edits and "lost" assets. I've already went ahead and uploaded the stuff I had from a certain modeller who went rogue...
My only request is that:
Assets can't be removed. (unless it's by an admin). If you upload something, it's there forever to stay.
Search by relevancy and user-defined tag system. Users decide their own tags, and can scroll for assets using them.
There are literally zero rules besides not uploading AI slop / "assets". (and obviously, don't upload malicious or non-sensical content meant to mess with people)
If Hive staff think this shouldn't be shared here, that's fair! I just think we're a small community and this could be useful to people, and archiving these assets is important for their preservation. After all, Warcraft 3 only became so popular because we had the gull, as a community, to archive and reupload versions of the game.
As for what I want from y'all, I want you to upload literally anything you want. Whether it's a model you like, a bunch of assets that aren't available somewhere, or just archiving models/icons in general, please go ahead and do it! They will permanently be ingrained within the internet.
Let me know if there are any issues, and thank you to @Wazzz and @SgtWinter for helping me test!

My only request is that:
- you credit assets to who made them
- you upload a thumbnail image, for the purposes of visibility
- be careful what you download/upload, this isn't exactly a great site because i suck lol
